Sonoscan Introduces Large-Area C-SAM Tool for the Production Floor

Sonoscan® has introduced the J610™, the latest member of its C-SAM® acoustic microscope line. The J610 is a semi-automated tool designed for production environments and has an unusually large scan area. Its key role is finding internal structural defects by screening trays of loose components, wafers, board-mounted components and other suitably sized items.

The 610 mm x 610 mm scan area can accommodate 6 JEDEC-style trays or one or more printed circuit boards. To reduce vibrations and maximize image quality, the system’s patented inertially balanced linear scanner is counterweighted.

Since 1974, Sonoscan has led the development and production of acoustic micro imaging (AMI) tools, methods and modes for non-destructive imaging, inspection and analysis of parts and products used in commercial, military and aerospace applications. Along the way, the company has been awarded numerous patents in the U.S. and abroad. The company also operates contract testing laboratories in multiple locations.
